[2025 Nilka County Attraction] Travel Guide for Tangbula Grassland (Updated Mar)

Parents taking their kids to Xinjiang this summer can just copy this itinerary! A stress-free kid-friendly route, tested over 5 trips with my kids! We've covered Tangbula, Sayram Lake, Duku Highway, Bayinbuluk Grassland, Xiata, and Kazanqi. Let's go! - 💐Sharing our itinerary D1⃣ Gather in Urumqi D2⃣ S101 Highway - Kenswat Reservoir - Anjihai Grand Canyon Taking a campervan along the S101 highway 🛣️, the scenery is absolutely stunning. The red cliffs, Gobi desert, meadows, and Kenswat Reservoir 💦, my phone couldn't capture it all! The guide also explained the geological formations, so impressive! We also checked out the Anjihai Grand Canyon. D3⃣ Duku Highway - Tangbula Grassland - Campervan Camping We drove the Duku Highway, which is only open once a year. Duku truly experiences "four seasons in a day," we saw all of Xinjiang's spring, summer, autumn, and winter! The kids kept saying how amazing it was. In the afternoon, we arrived at Tangbula Grassland. Mountains, grasslands 🌳, forests, cattle, sheep, and streams, even more beautiful than Switzerland. At night, we camped in our campervan in Kurdening 🏕️, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and cedar forests, under a sky full of stars. We truly slept in nature. D4⃣ Horseback riding in Kurdening - Qabqikhai - Zhaosu "Heavenly Horses Bathing in the River" Horseback riding in Kurdening in the morning 🐎, and in the afternoon, we went to Zhaosu to see the "Heavenly Horses Bathing in the River." D5⃣ Xiata Forest Treasure Hunt - General's Bridge Hike In the morning, we took the kids on a treasure hunt in Xiata, collecting stones as specimens, searching for the King Spruce, and identifying plants, animals, and edible fungi 🍄. In the afternoon, we hiked to General's Bridge, where we could see the distant snow-capped mountains. D6⃣ Tekes Bagua City - Kazanqi Folk District - Uyghur Cultural Experience In the morning, we visited Tekes Bagua City, a city without traffic lights 🚥. Its layout resembles a Bagua diagram, a truly fascinating city. In the afternoon, we experienced Uyghur customs and culture in Kazanqi, dancing 💃, learning Uyghur, making yogurt, applying Ausman, and eating local ice cream. D7⃣ Guozigou Bridge - Sayram Lake - End of Camp We went to Sayram Lake. In summer, Sayram Lake is like a sapphire 💦, breathtakingly pure and beautiful. It truly brought tears to my eyes. We also saw the Guozigou Bridge. D8⃣ Return from Yining - ⚠️Tips ✔️ Taking kids to Xinjiang, I recommend against taking a bus! If you're not familiar with the routes, don't drive yourself! Hire a car or a campervan. A 3-hour drive is much more comfortable and spacious! We chose a campervan, one for each family, with a readily available toilet ❗️Highly recommended❗️ ✔️ Xinjiang has a time difference, 2 hours behind inland China! ✔️ There's a large temperature difference between day and night. For those traveling with children, I recommend bringing extra summer and winter clothes for easy changing.

If you can set out in early September, you can still catch up with the flowering period of these scenic spots in Yili! The flowering period here⚠️ refers to the scenery viewing period. 1️⃣Jongkush Terrace It is said that the grass in Yili has turned yellow, but it has not turned yellow here yet. Qiongkushtai Village is full of autumn. Most of the grassland is still green, the trees are starting to turn yellow and have a very layered look. There are small bridges and flowing water, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep. No wonder everyone calls this the little Switzerland of the East! 2️⃣Tangbula Baili Gallery Tangbula Grassland + Baili Gallery, even if the grass turns yellow, it is still very beautiful, because the landscape here is composed of grassland + cedar trees, and it has a different sense of layering when it turns yellow. In addition, Baili Gallery runs through it, and it is also September The best choice in Yili. 3️⃣Nalati Grassland Many people don’t like to come here in autumn, but if you like to see this kind of scene, you must come.

I didn't rent a DSLR to take with me The phone can't capture such a vast grassland and snow-capped mountains, the scenery is really too stunning! 📍Attached is our travel strategy: There were four of us in a chartered car, from 6.3 to 6.10 D1: Departure-Urumqi-Changji D2: Sayram Lake-Guozigou Bridge D3: Huocheng Qingshui River Lavender-Kalajun D4: Horse riding in Kalajun-Tekes Bagua City D5: Kuerdening-Narat D6: Tangbula Hundred Mile Gallery-Bulong Hot Spring D7: Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Return trip The Duku Highway took the northern section, Bayinbuluke was not open yet, please remember to take turns sitting in the co-pilot seat to enjoy the scenery~ ⚠️Xinjiang is too big, and each scenic spot is very scattered, be careful not to schedule too many trips~ It is recommended to arrange the most stunning scenic spots in the first two days, because you will gradually become aesthetically tired later on😂 ❤️My three favorite places 1️⃣ Sayram Lake: The clouds roll and the sea and sky are one color, be sure to pick a sunny day to go! 2️⃣ Kalajun Scenic Area: The Falcon Terrace is really shocking, we rode horses for eight hours, marveling at the beautiful scenery all the way, and on a clear night, you can see the starry sky and the Big Dipper for the first time~ So you must stay in the grassland! 3️⃣ Tangbula Grassland Hundred Mile Gallery: Although I was a bit tired of the grassland in the last two days, Tangbula is really beautiful, and the scenery along the way is the best! ⚡️Personal lightning protection Dushanzi Grand Canyon is a bit like a canyon version of Happy Valley, with mostly entertainment projects inside, which are quite average, but the main thing is that it's too sunny 👗Dressing and skincare advice🧴 1️⃣No need to say more about the white dress, it fits well in any environment, the yellow dress will attract a lot of insects, please be cautious😐Red clothes are quite stunning, even saw several red aunt travel groups 2️⃣Three-in-one is the most worn clothing in Xinjiang, because you can experience four seasons in one day, every day is a layering method, when the sun is strong, it is very hot, especially after seven or eight o'clock in the evening, especially on the grassland by the lake, the temperature will drop sharply and it is very cold, and the wind is also very strong, it is also good to bring a thin down jacket👍 3️⃣Rain boots saved my life! Because there is really a lot of horse manure on the grassland, wearing boots will be very convenient👢 4️⃣No need to wear makeup but must wear sunscreen, and need to reapply often, and moisturizing is very important, mixed dry skin went to Xinjiang and directly became a Loulan mummy... 💰Total cost Didn't calculate in detail, it should be around 8k The whole journey into the scenic area was self-driving so it was very comfortable! The hotel averages about one to two hundred per person per night~ 🥳Final feelings The clouds on the lake that seem to be within reach, the stars on the grassland, the Kazakh songs on horseback, singing loudly on the Duku Highway, these memories will become the fuel fragments for continuing to work hard in life, will definitely come back in the future🤣First earn enough money and then talk... Next time I want to check in the autumn scenery of Kanas in North Xinjiang🍂

Tangbula, a place known as the Hundred Mile Gallery, with forests, grasslands, streams, mountains, and lakesides, is Xinjiang's green gem. The name 'Tangbula' originates from several huge rocks on the mountain ridge on the east side of the valley, resembling jade seals, hence the name Tangbula, which in Kazakh means 'big seal'. This is a natural wonder embraced by the Tianshan Mountains, ancient and pristine, tranquil by nature. Only by being there can one truly appreciate its beauty. Tangbula has a pleasant landscape, with beautiful scenery. The green grasslands are like a green carpet laid over the earth, endless in sight. Hundreds of wildflowers bloom competitively on the Tangbula grasslands, forming a sea of flowers, fragrant and pleasing to the nose. Scattered white yurts compose a beautiful scenic line. We were lucky to have just encountered the weather clearing after the rain, enjoying the most beautiful scenery, amidst the clouds and mist, with clouds rolling and unfolding, blue sky and white clouds, like a fairyland!
